Almost all arguments of command-line options of all PostgreSQL tools are
case-sensitive. Consider the initdb -U option for example. By pointing
out a couple of specific cases, wouldn't we also create more confusion

(I'm not sure about the case-sensitivity of the locale options. That
could be OS-dependent.)
